Tottenham Hotspur are weighing up a move for Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger, according to Football Insider.
Why Spurs Want Rüdiger
Roberto De Zerbi’s side sit 19th after six games, despite a busy summer in defence. Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi arrived on free transfers, Jan Paul van Hecke joined for a sizeable fee, and Micky van de Ven signed a new contract.
Chelsea Plot January Move for Benfica Teenager
Chelsea have reportedly identified Benfica defender Daniel Banjaqui as their primary full-back target for the January window, according to TEAMtalk. The 18-year-old Portugal Under-21 international is valued at around £38m, though Arsenal and Liverpool are also said to be monitoring his situation.
Arsenal are reportedly the frontrunners to land Norwegian winger Antonio Nusa from RB Leipzig, with Football Insider claiming the Premier League champions are best placed to secure his signature.
Why Arsenal Want Antonio Nusa
The Gunners failed to land a major attacking signing this summer after pursuits of Morgan Rogers and Vinicius Jr collapsed. Christos Tzolis was their only forward addition, while Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus all departed.
Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a January approach for Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, according to the Daily Mail.
Why United Need Defensive Reinforcements
Despite finishing third in the Premier League last season, United have looked shaky at the back this term. Matthijs de Ligt has battled a back problem for almost a year, while Leny Yoro has struggled to command a regular place under Michael Carrick. Ayden Heaven remains a work in progress.
Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Barcelona defender Jules Kounde as they weigh up reinforcements at right-back, according to Football Insider.
Why Liverpool Need a Right-Back
Conor Bradley remains sidelined with a long-term injury, leaving Jeremie Frimpong as the Reds’ only natural option on the right. The 25-year-old has managed just four goal contributions in 41 appearances since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen, and his defensive work has come under scrutiny.
